Staircase Rapids — Friday, Nov. 24, 2023

Road has some potholes. Not overly large. No obstruction on the drive in.The large boulder in the road is now gone. Thanks park service or whomever removed the boulder.  Beautiful blue sky day. Arrived at the trailhead about 930 am. 3rd car parked near the bridge. No cars in the larger parking lot. Early arrival almost meant a little on the cooler side, just above freezing. 2 pit potties, both were open. Trail is great, only a couple of sections that were excessively muddy/water on the trail. One tree over the trail. It might have been there for a while. Easy to walk around. Bridge and two foot bridges were a little frosty. I was cautious with the foot bridge that did not have a hand rail, the smallest of the 3. Watched a trail runner slip on it a little. Lots of mushrooms today. Was a great time and day to be outdoors.
